Charleston, WV – Flash flood warnings remain in effect overnight into Monday for southern West Virginia as heavy thunderstorms continue to threaten the region. While damaging wind gusts are still a concern, the primary hazard is flash flooding due to significant rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service, southern portions of the state will experience intense downpours into early Monday morning. The weather threat is expected to shift southward as thunderstorms subside, but the risk for flash flooding remains high. Areas like Greenbrier, Monroe, and Pocahontas counties are especially vulnerable to sudden water accumulation and possible road closures.
Drier conditions are expected to settle in Monday evening as the front moves through, bringing clear skies and low humidity that will last through Thursday. Still, those in flood-prone areas are urged to monitor the situation closely and be prepared to act if flooding worsens. Local emergency management officials recommend avoiding travel in flood-prone areas during heavy rain.
As of now, the Flash Flood Watch remains active for affected counties. Keep up to date with the latest alerts as conditions evolve overnight.
